This week in class we read “Glossary of Terms” by Franny Choi and discussed how form affects poetry with a new and unique form. Students filled in their own categories for Choi’s terms as well as coming up with their own. They were also able to take these ideas and form a plain text poem from them. Please enjoy a selection of their work!

Siempre hay una persona que quieres y much
pero esa persona no va estar para siempre cuando
se va esa persona en piesa a llorar y sufres porque
la quieras y mucho pero luego piensas que esa
persona te esta mirando desde el cielo y siempre
la vas a llevar en tu corazón
